Why is there no mention about a May 2009 reall for brake failure. I have a 2004 Monaco LaPalma that I got a recall notice for bad brake calipers. Almost 1 1/2 years later still no fix. I’m driving a 11 ton vehicle with bad brakes.

I bought a new Monaco Kight In 2002 and got a recall for removel and replace all parts from the spindel to the steel brake lines.The Moter Mome still has verry bad brakes. But that is not a wender.Thay replace it with the same brakes NO UP GRADE at all.So we still have a RV that has VERRY POOR Brakes.When I call MONACO Thy Say ITs out of WARRANTY.I wish Someting could be don.
Ed & Alice Moreau A UNHAPPY Camper.
